What You Will Learn:

This expertly structured course provides a deep dive into the art and science of effective communication, teaching you to send and receive messages with clarity and impact. You will explore:

• Defining Communication: Gain a foundational understanding of what communication truly is – the process of sharing messages between two or more people, always involving a sender, a message, and a receiver.
• Understanding Communication Failure: Discover the common reasons why messages break down, including unclear messages, choosing an ineffective communication medium, messages not being delivered, distracted receivers, and a lack of feedback. You will learn how a disconnect at any stage of the process can lead to misunderstandings.
• Mastering Communication Types: Develop proficiency in the three primary types of communication:
  • Verbal Communication: Learn to speak slowly and confidently, stay on topic, and effectively use your tone of voice in spoken exchanges like phone calls and in-person conversations.
  • Nonverbal Communication: Understand how wordless messages such as body language, facial expressions, and gestures can reinforce or contradict your verbal message.
  • Written Communication: Hone your ability to write clearly, concisely, and accurately in text-based formats like emails, memos, and proposals, ensuring your messages are easy to understand and credible.
• Choosing the Right Communication Medium: Learn to strategically select the most effective delivery method—in-person, video call, phone call, or written text—based on your situation and message. You will analyse the unique strengths and weaknesses of each medium to ensure your message achieves its intended impact.
• Removing Communication Barriers: Identify and overcome five common barriers to understanding: informational (too much or too little detail), language (jargon, slang), emotional (heightened feelings), physical (distractions, discomfort), and perceptual (differing viewpoints). Gain practical strategies to navigate and eliminate these obstacles as both a sender and receiver.
